Billions will be spent on new types of weapons for the Ukrainian army under a state defense contract, Yatseniuk said.
“The main expenditures will be money payable to people. The second thing is new types of weapons. I have signed a state defense contract and we spend billions on new types of weapons under this contract,” he said.
